"Allegations of Teacher-Encouraged Student Fights Spark Investigations in Indianapolis Schools"

An Indianapolis elementary school teacher is being sued for allegedly organizing "fight club-style" brawls between students, including a 7-year-old special needs student, and recording the disturbing incidents. The teacher, Julious Johnican, is accused of condoning and instigating the fights, which were captured on video and revealed during a parent-teacher conference. The lawsuit also alleges that school administrators ignored the mother's concerns for months and that the teacher allowed other students to attack her son. The Indianapolis Public Schools district has stated that they do not tolerate such behavior and took immediate action when they learned of the teacher's conduct.
